Melinda Morris Zanoni, the CEO of Legacy Talent and Entertainment, tweeted out the latest on Flair’s situation late Sunday night.

As first reported by Pro Wrestling Sheet, Flair was hospitalized on Saturday morning for heart-related issues, with Zanoni initially reporting the situation involved “routine monitoring.” PW Insider’s Mike Johnson reported that Flair is hospitalized near his home in Atlanta.

His popularity and personality have transcended into the world of professional sports on many occasions, with athletes recreating some of his most famous wrestling promos and Flair himself often called on to serve as a motivational speaker.
